Sony VAIO PCG-R505EL System Restore

Topics: sony, vaio, recovery, restore
Item Size: 2.2G

These are image files of the discs shipped with the Sony VAIO R505 Super Slim series model PCG-R505EL laptop. The image includes Windows XP Home, and Sony's bundled software and drivers. It will only work on the R505EL model, not even others in the R505 series (tried it on an R505JSP - it refuses to run.)

The first disc in the System Restore set is bootable and can be used to restore the laptop to factory-new condition after the hard drive has been wiped or replaced. The Application Restore set can be used to reinstall applications and drivers from a functional OS.

The set requires five CD-R or RW discs.

If you have other model restore discs, images, or the ability to create them from a working OEM computer that still has its original recovery partition, please do! These are getting very hard to find, and Sony (among others) have stopped providing support for computers more than a few years old. Sony laptops, in particular, feature special control hardware and user interfaces (special buttons, jog dials, switches, etc.) that require drivers and Windows services that are no longer available for download. Please help make this software available to others while sources can still be found. Thank you!
